Ok so as you might have noticed, I tend to not be very active in the help-related topics and I can sometime take a long while to try demos/betas of what people post in their project topics. In addition to that, despite my activity being high, I can sometime take almost an entire day before replying to something.

My lack of participation in help topics is because I have quit programming almost 4 months ago and fell behind in programming knowledge, especially Axe. However, all of those are due to me being busy. I am fine on my two days off from work, but for the rest of the week, I usually am swamped with loads of stuff, so my time on the forums is restricted mostly to night time and sometimes I just prefer to go to bed instead to not lose too much sleep. I also recently got annoyed by a real life issue that got worse lately (same as I went through in Sept/oct last year but not close to being as bad), so that puts some stress on me. As a result, you may sometimes see me online, but I may end up lurking for extended periods of time.

This might get worse in December as Christmas will approach, although I will certainly be around. Once Christmas is done, though, if things goes well, I might re-try programming again and maybe a 4th attempt at learning ASM.

tl;dr My forum activity will most likely remain high, but I may not be participating as much in help-related areas and may take a while to test your program/game/shell/OS. I will also answer very few requests.

DJ, I understand, and I personnally appreciate your effort to stay an active member/admin.  In my opinion, you don't have to be knowledgable in programming Axe and ASM to be a great admin (though you're probably one of the best BASIC programmers here.)

My advice: don't worry if you fall behind in activity, take care of your real life issues first.  While we like to see you here all the time, none of us want you to be overstressed in life.  ;)

Well, hope your issues get better, and hope your stress level declines :(

Yeah, you are a really cool admin. And you seem to have a pretty solid understanding of things. If you ever do get around to trying to learn Assembly again, I am sure the people here would love to help and we can answer questions. It is pretty active currently, so we just need to hope it stays that way. Plus, if you understand how to use bite editing features and hex and whatnot, you are already well prepared for assembly.

I was worried when I read your message, but I'm glad that you're only busy rather than feeling pain at what life sometimes throws.  Good luck, DJ, and I'm glad that at least for right now you're still active!  And I recommend you continue taking breaks from time to time to play SC2 ;D

Yeah I need to do the later a bit more, to not just spend my entire time on the forums. X.x

I also got Halo Reach so I might play that sometimes, too, although I am considering created a 2nd Xbox Live gamertag just for people I met online and keep the other one for IRL people. The issue is that sometiems I tried to play a game with someone online and someone who I know IRL kept spamming me with game invites then complained that I didn't join. I do not have that issue with Starcraft II

Hang in there DJ. I believe I can speak for everyone here when I say that we appreciate all of your encouraging support and comments.

Jumpman progress may decrease significantly next week as I may be finally returning back to work after my surgery.

Ah I see. I hope you do not have some sort of pain coming back due to your surgery or something. I think I remember my bro had that happen with his back once, although it did not last too long.
